What I'm looking for

I'm looking for my next Senior Full-Stack role, with new systems to learn and challenges worth solving. I'm especially interested in using AI to ship better code faster, with human quality assurance.

At Hire Digital, I owned the public web platform hiredigital.com and its Python/Django backend on AWS, and delivered web and email projects for clients including NEC, Singtel, Manulife, Roche and CapitaLand. I led the migration of hiredigital.com from Next.js to Astro and re-architected its AWS infrastructure.

I also handled production incidents from root cause through runbook. For Avie.ai, an internal AI video-personalization product, I was tech lead and primary developer, creating the Next.js and TypeScript web app and its in-browser video recorder.

I work AI-first, directing coding agents with codified rules and independent verification, then reviewing their code for correctness and quality. I also automated a human-in-the-loop content workflow that turns a Google Sheet topic into a researched outline and, once approved, a draft with images.

My passion for computers started with MS-DOS, and after a detour into mechatronics and aerospace, I returned to that interest to earn a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I'm now looking for my next Senior Full-Stack role, with new systems to learn and challenges worth solving, especially work using AI to ship better code with human quality assurance.
